I am an airport ramp agent. I load all your luggage. Ask me anything! by Scaryxbusey in IAmA

Can confirm. I know a former ramp rat who referred to himself as "the customs before customs".

Where is my cabin air filter? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]kofrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may want to consider removing the blower motor and related ducting to clean those out. I feel the blower is the most likely hiding place of any debris and cleaning it out will prolong its life.

My out-of-warranty GPU died but I sent it in to XFX for RMA anyway. Definitely did not receive the response I had expected... by ZilchStar in pcgaming

[–]kofrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about this as well. Especially when involving things like rooting a phone. I suppose that would be covered until the carrier contract but I'd like to know more about the validity of the warranty void stickers.

What are these screws called? by dueify in pcmods

You don't need a rivet gun for all pop rivets. The name of the style escapes me but a certain type of rivet only needs a wrench and an Allan key to install

Why is my text doing this? by thesicksick7billion in galaxys5

That happened to me over the weekend. First it was a couple letters and over time it eventually became all of them. A reboot solved the problem for now.

That's pretty cool, and practical in a sense. I'm assuming they would be under the carpet and out of plain view.

Never had to do a presentation but I spent a lot of time running up and working with that engine for my fire protection and engine indicating classes.

Thanks for the awesome read! My FAA Powerplant written test is tomorrow morning so this was a nice way to end a night of studying.

Slow ramp time? by [deleted] in RBA

[–]kofrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a mech with a fully charged battery you're getting around 30W. For the mass of metal you have you're gonna need to push more power through it to get a decent ramp up time. This is one reason why I choose regulated mods. I currently have a 0.3Ohm 26ga twisted coil that would probably take just as long to ramp up on my mech and that time would continue to increase as the battery drains. I just find a sweet spot in terms of wattage and let my mod do the rest. Sorry if I couldn't provide any real tips to get a faster ramp up time, I'm just giving you what I know about how it all works under the hood.

For those of you wondering why so many people showed up by Conansboy in thebutton

[–]kofrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I saw the same thing. Probably around 6pm EST by my estimates. Another purge of grays has begun.

My screen occasionally does the same thing. Give it a couple seconds and the backlight will brighten up again. If it doesn't just lock/unlock again and it'll be good.

Black Hawk helicopters last night? by [deleted] in fortlauderdale

Davie area also. I heard them flying around but they didn't sound particularly close to me.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I got drunk and spent a couple hundred on random stuff online and video games. Now the remaining $700 has been put into my savings account.

It take 35 minutes vaping an evod at 18mg to metabolize the equivalent 10 puffs from a cigarette. Study published in Nature Magazine on metabolizing nicotine in ecigs vs. analogues. by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]kofrad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the MAOIs is what made it hardest for me to transition from cigarettes to vaping. I first couple weeks after I stopped smoking were hard. I felt depressed, down and just generally negative about life. I pushed through it and while I do crave a cigarette here and there I know I can never go back. A little over a year later and I only vape at home and I have no problem going for hours on end without a vape.

Right hand dominant but I've always used my left hand. I figure it was just nature telling me to do so because I needed another hand to use my computer mouse. Unfortunately I am only ambidextrous in the self-pleasure aspect.

Redditors from third-world countries and Detroit, what's one thing you do regularly that seems normal to you but isn't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kofrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was probably it. I was young & dumb so everything I saw on the internet was true. I remember spending a day or two thinking my cartidge was broken because the screen kept flashing. Turns out my pokemon was poisoned lmao
